Courts Genuinely Unsearchable Today
No courts were genuinely unsearchable due to access restrictions. Language barriers do not prevent coverage — opinions in German, French, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and other languages are readable and summarizable. The absence of foreign opinions today reflects a genuine absence of new published decisions, not an access limitation.
